Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
a wallpaper pulls his punch, talks to judy in a crowded corner
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
he don't read page to page or say the words in order
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
judy's illustrating and she's a stranger to the straight face
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
always seems so far away, staring out into space
hihat break
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
'i'm sorry, tried to stay away' says punch, 'later account, though'
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
you dress like an opposite but really it's more than echo
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
judy leans over, like a strike of a clock says, 'i don't buy that, boy.'
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
there's two inside of you and they're both gonna be destroyed.
F#mC#
in the alley, mixing blood cheek to cheek
BbmG#F#mG#mB
you're up against the words you never could dare to speak
F#mC#
it's your conflict shored up tight
BbmG#F#mC#
your heavy steps that follow her steps so light
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
so judy holds punch, cufflinks inside her clenched fist
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
she had a dream of bandages on punch's wrist
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
so she sees punch with a thorn in his hand and says, 'stop right there
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
what the fuck are you doing don't you know i care?'
hihat break
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
but she hears the bark of a cop and drops to the dirty street
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
'i wonder,' punch says, 'do you know what at all, what's protecting me?'
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
judy used to hold me like a pencil writing out some change
Dsus2Dsus2Dsus2CF riff 1
her cheap philosopher was spare change for brains
F#mC#
in the alley, mixing blood cheek to cheek
BbmG#F#mG#mB
you're up against the words you never could dare to speak
F#mC#
it's your conflict shored up tight
BbmG#F#mC#
your heavy steps that follow her steps so light
